Greetings!

This message is to bring to your attention a Graduate Research  
Seminar (GRS) this July (5th and 6th) in conjunction with the Gordon  
Research Conference (GRC), Metabolic Basis of Ecology (July  
6th-11th). This year’s conference looks to be outstanding; a list of  
speakers can be found at:

http://www.grc.org/programs.aspx?year=2008&program=metbasis

The purpose of the GRS is to facilitate interaction among graduate  
students and postdocs the weekend prior to the GRC. Also, given the  
high caliber of many of the GRC conferees, grad student and postdoc  
involvement has been limited in the past. A key goal of the GRS is to  
prepare young scientists for greater participation during the GRC.

Eight grad students and/or postdocs will give talks during that  
weekend on topics ranging from dynamics at the cellular, organismal,  
and population levels to the flow of energy and materials in  
communities and landscapes in a format identical to the GRC.

Prepare 200-word abstracts and apply before April 1st 2008 to be  
considered for the eight speaker slots.

More information can be found here:
http://www.grc.org/programs.aspx?year=2008&program=grad_metab

We have funds to partly defray the GRS registration fees. Moreover,  
IF YOU ALSO REGISTER TO STAY ON FOR THE MAIN GRC-METABOLIC BASIS OF  
ECOLOGY WE CAN PARTLY DEFRAY YOUR TRAVEL EXPENSES.

SPACE AND FUNDS ARE LIMITED – APPLY NOW! There is room for only 35!

We look forward to meeting you in beautiful Maine this summer!

Sincerely,

Puni Jeyasingh
&
Chuck Price
